I remember this cool little online gadget/webtoy that let you wrap an image around a 3D sphere, and had a bunch of neat (if not useless) features like Height mapping (based on brightness) and other stuff like that.
Pinkythefoxxywasp sent me a link a long time ago (that's how I know of it), but I can't find it now because Google is becoming more corporocratic than ever.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
